SunRidge Canyon Golf Club
About
SunRidge Canyon Golf Club provides adventure amid natural terrain over 7,002 yards of par-71 golf. The golf course was laid out by the golf course architect Keith Foster, who hid the golf course in the ridges and canyons of the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, one of the last untouched bastions of the Southwestern United States.
The SunRidge Canyon Golf Club's signature hole is the 17th, and it is unique, giving golfers the option of shooting a 209-yard, par 3 over a box canyon today and then going for a 152-yard par 3 from an elevated tee tomorrow. Foster discovered the elevated-tee opportunity during a tour of the golf course while it was being constructed and added the Canyon set of tees right then. The vistas he knew golfers would get were enough to convince Foster to set up the second set of tees.
After a round of golf at the SunRidge Canyon Golf Club, head back to the Ridge Room, which attracts visitors and locals for the great view and Southwestern cuisine.

Beautiful hole! Photo submitted by danthomson on 09/25/2012
Always a winner!!
This is the second time I played the course. The layout is a superb desert course. The wicked 6 finishing holes are a true test of golf . Will definitely be back.
beautiful
Enjoyed playing here. The last six holes are Wicked
Greens not overseeded
I was very pleased with the course layout and general conditions. It is an interesting and challenging track. My major disappointment was spending nearly $100 to play it and the greens were not overseeded with Rye for the winter. Instead it was dry Bermuda that was painted green. This is really unheard of in Arizona, even the munis oversead!
Great Views and Great Conditions
Sunridge Canyon is a great course that anyone visiting the Phoenix area should play. The front-nine is mostly downhill while the back-nine, especially the "wicked six" are uphill and leave great views from the greens.
The fairways were in great shape and the winter seed has really taken hold. The fairway rough is dormant Bermuda, which is my preferred rough for winter courses in AZ. The rough around the greens was lush winter seed.
Biggest tip for this course would be to keep it accurate off the tee. Many of the par fours are relatively short, but have very narrow fairways so a long iron or hybrid off the tee is the smart play for a long hitter.
Great Value on a challenging course
Great Value for a challenging course. Course was in very good condition and practice facilities very good. Nice scenery on a true desert course. Highly recommended for players of average ability and above.
Excellent course. Bring your A game!
Absolutely loved this course. It's very challenging but fair. Elevation changes, Small and winding fairways, tons of bunkers, wash areas on many holes, and relatively small greens which punish you if you miss them. Seriously, add an extra few strokes if you don't hit your approach shot on. The scenery is remarkable and the course is in immaculate condition. Greens were super fast so I had multiple three putts. I enjoyed my butt kicking so much I went back the very next day for more. This is just as nice as any of the major courses in the scottsdale area (and I've played many of them) but at a much nicer price. I highly recommend you play this course. Go ahead and book a tee time without guilt or worry. Bring your A game!
Love It, Love It, Love It
This is the second time we played the course. Husband is a single digit I'm a 24. We both look forward to playing the course. Just wish I could play the last hole a little better. Great views! Tell everyone to try the course. We feel that it is a course "not to miss" when in the area.
Sunridge Golf Course
Awesome golf course! Challenging. Important to play right tees for your skill level. Lots of canyons to clear. Hole 17 is a par 3 with about 175 yards carry to clear from middle tees. Beautiful lay out. I'll play again.
Bring your "A" game
The course is in great shape, the greens fast and true, the staff friendly and helpful. Lots of elevation changes, forced carries and ungroomed desert. The Wicked Six finishing holes are mostly uphill and against the prevailing wind. Not walker-friendly, but one of my favorite courses. The rack rate is pricey, but not as much as some comparable courses in Scottsdale, and well worth it with a golfnow hot deal.
Only 1 issue - and it was a big one
This is a good golf facility and the course has an interesting layout - worth the effort to go and play. The only criticism I had -- and this was shared by others on the day - was the sometimes farcical pin placements. It just was a pointless blight on what should have been a really good golf experience. Whoever was responsible needs to be re-assigned to less important duties - possibly washroom attendant. It's something clubs need to be mindful of -- do not put pins on the edges and close to ridges and false-fronts as was the case on the day I played. The key is to make it FUN not set the course up for a PGA tour event.
Don't think it is a walk over
A stunning course. Great holes. Well placed bunkers and other obstacles.
The first 5 holes are not all that difficult, giving you the impression you are going to play the round of your life, but as you get further in the round the level of difficulty increases with the notorious wicked 6 last holes putting you back your typical playing level
Cart Path Only
Played Sunridge 10 days ago as cart path only. Asked staff when coming off cart paths and was told Nov. 1.
Booked tee time for today, showing no restrictions but was told on 1st tee that they were extending cart path only for a few more weeks. Was not happy during our 4hr 40 min round with only about 50 players on the course. Just let us know before we get there. No way I would have books the time if I had known.
SunRidge Canyon
Beautiful course. Very challenging. Would definitely recommend the course.
Great course but pace of play a bit slow
Not a difficult course if shots are well managed. First timers may not score well.
Great day of golf!
Lucked out on timing - big tournament just finished so was able to go out as a single with no one else ahead.. Played 18 in 2 hours 10 minutes without rushing! Course is very challenging - but in great shape after the fall overseed. Greens are true and pretty fast. Desert Scenery was great. Staff were super friendly. Bring extra balls - you can loose them after hitting good shots on this course! Straight wins over length here - its a hard layout and tight - but fun if you plan for it.
Good value for these $60
Challenging but fair. Group in front somewhat slow & we never saw a marshal.
This course is basically unplayable
I am an 8 handicap and I found the course to be extremely unfair. The designer laid out the course in an area that never should have had a golf course. I would not recommend this course to anyone. The first hole was about the only playable hole. It was brutal and no fun to play because you never felt you had a chance to score.
Great Track for the Experienced Golfer
Great Views in a canyon. Down hill for the front 9 and up hill the second 9. Need to stay in the fairway to score. The rough was very thick which was an automatic bogey. Glad we went to play just don't expect your best score.
Take the Drive
This course is located in Fountain Hills, which is the most picturesque area of the valley. The greens were immaculate, rarely flat and seldom predictable. The fairways were well manicured but the rough was rough! There are several par 4s on which one should leave the driver in the bag. The staff was extremely friendly and happy that we took the drive. The cost was significantly less expensive than comparable Troon Courses. Its a great value especially if you want a memorable experience, great greens, and a well thought out layout--- without paying a mortgage to play.
